Homebuilder Pulte Homes Inc. said Friday that its chief financial officer, Roger A. Cregg, raised his stake by exercising stock options that were set to expire.

Pulte Homes said Cregg added 54,000 shares to his stake by exercising options that would have expired in November and shares that would have expired during a trading blackout period in February before the company shares its fourth-quarter report.

Cregg exercised 188,000 stock options and sold 134,000 of the shares to cover the cost of exercising them.

Pulte also said that its chief operating officer, Steven C. Petruska, exercised and sold 3,000 shares. They would have expired in November.

Pulte shares fell 9 cents in after-hours trading after falling 9 cents to finish regular trading at $9.69.

Here are some rules of the road:

Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and leave him a public message.
Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
